The definitive comparison hub for SaaS boilerplates in 2026. See how ShipQuick stacks up against ShipFast, MakerKit, Supastarter, LaunchKit, and Gravity—covering stack, pricing, auth, payments, and everything else that matters.

Most boilerplates promise speed and deliver a weekend project. ShipQuick is built around a single constraint: your full-stack SaaS should be running—with auth, payments, and a landing page—in 15 minutes. Here's exactly how that works.

Stripe is the default—but for indie hackers and developer-focused SaaS products, Polar.sh offers a cleaner API, automatic VAT handling, and a developer community built-in. ShipQuick ships with Polar pre-integrated so you can accept payments from day one.

The SaaS boilerplate market defaulted to PostgreSQL and Supabase. But not every product fits a relational schema. Here's why a MongoDB SaaS boilerplate like ShipQuick gives you a faster, more flexible foundation for most real-world products.

Most SaaS boilerplates charge you monthly—on top of your hosting, your auth provider, your database, and your payment processor. ShipQuick is a one-time payment SaaS starter with lifetime updates. Here's why that matters.

Every serious SaaS boilerplate in 2024 was built on Next.js. In 2026, that's no longer the only option—and for many founders, it's no longer the best one. Here's what a TanStack Start SaaS boilerplate gives you that Next.js starters don't.
